Post by rackaouy »

Hi ! I did install KQ8 (Mask) on a Windows 7 64 bits computer. So far, so good... But I cannot play th nice intro as vids:iv50 decompressor is not found. Any solution ?
Many thanks for reviving these wonderful games.

Thaks a lot. The reason I cannot install the driver is I already have a newer version of ir50_32.dll. It is so highly protected I cannot delete it and revert to previous version...
Please help !

Did you try to run the installer as admin? Did you see if there was an uninstaller for the version already on your system? If all else fails, try setting compatibility mode to 640x480 to play the game.
